a suitable mandrel, and then stretch them out by drawing them 011' the mandrel, as shown at D,

the two wires being thus interlaced, but not technically twisted, as is readily seenfrom anv inspection of Fig. 2. When these interlaced wires are sufficiently stretched andlengthened the proper distance to form openings of I the desired size, they are passed between rolling uniform openings of the desired size.

I claim- V 4 The method of making open -'twist wire strands, which consists in coiling two wires side by side in .onecontinuous coil, stretching the coil to the desired degree of openness, and
